Music is one of the most beloved human experience . Everyone enjoys some
sort of music and that is evident in almost every important event from weddings
and funerals to graduation ceremonies and presidential inaugurations. Yes,
music is everywhere. There are many different styles or genres, of music. Some
of the most familiar are classical, jazz, blues, rock and roll, rhythm and
blues, rap, hip hop, country, blue grass, folk, house, new age, world and
metal, but the overall list goes on and on. Music to me is an outburst of soul.
It is the highlight of my day, it is important in my life because I always have
something to sing along and to relate to. Today, India is open to new cultures
to an extent one could not even imagine, a few decades ago.
The younger lot is
bringing new ideas. This is the best phase of Indian music as a lot of
musicians are coming up with new kind of music, giving musicians more space to
create something different. Bollywood movies with beautiful romantic songs make
buzz these days. Singers like Honey Singh, Arijit Singh , AR Rehman etc are making headlines.
Indian music has rare depth, dignity and above all a beauty of mood and
expression. Classical song’s and Ghazal’s are much closer to everyday life. It
evokes the kind of peace one feels when one is happy at home, with family, in
the company of
friends, watching a beautiful sunset or doing something one
enjoys. Ghazals and old songs have soothing effect on emotions. Some of my
all-time favourite include ‘ ABHI NA JAO CHHODH KAR ‘ by Rafi and Aasha Bhosle,
‘ HAR EK BAAT PE KEHTE HO TUM ‘ by Lata , ‘ TUM JO ITNA MUSKURA RAHE HO ‘, ‘
JHUKI SI NAZAR BEKARAR ’, ‘ HOTHON SE CHOO LO
TUM ‘ by Jagjit Singh, a musical
pioneer as well as the Ghazal Mastero also known as the Ghazal King of all
time. I think the future of Indian music is to be really outstanding.
Categories such as pop, bhangra, hip hop and other latin flavours by blending
them. I think they can create a very immense tone of sound. The blend of East
and West is the future of the Indian music industry because people want to
listen to something different. They are enjoying such amalgamation because they
are listening to world music and are well aware of the different genres. Even
though, I prefer old music. I believe that India is progressing towards a
bright future regarding music. I close by thanking Salis Afaque for motivating
me to write this article.
